art journalling (WOYWW)

Well, as my entry to WOYWW this week, I have two shots of my desk to show you. This first one is when it was tidy and covered in the crafting goodies that Tim gave me for our wedding anniversary - you can see some new stamps, new stencils, a little bottle of liquid pearls, some pens and some grunge paste.

The second shot is from when I had been playing with lots of those items in making some pages for my art journal! There is stuff everywhere (stamps, paints, distress paints, inks, pens, stencils - you name it and it is on there somewhere!) and hiding in the middle is my trusty mug of tea, almost empty now.

Here is the wedding anniversary page that I generated using acrylic paints applied with a spatula, stencilling (again with the acrylic paints), pen work, stamping, liquid pearls and a small photo from our wedding.

This next page is the 'Family' page generated with acrylic paints, masking, stencilling, stamping, pens, a making memories 'tie' and a photo of the three of us taken last summer.

Finally I made the 'Who am I?' page using dylusion spray inks, water through a stencil, masking, stencilling, stamping, and hand drawing/writing. I think it is fair to say I have found my mojo again! That is all from me for now. Have a great week everyone,
Love

Hi Caro, What a lovely hubby you have who gives you craft stuff for your anniversary, need I say more.And absolutely super craft goodies they are too, I love the flower stamps. What are the 'Artistline' things on the right hand side, they look like a selection of sink plungers? Quite sure they are not, but can't identify what they might be.The Wedding anniversary pages look good too.You've been busy and happy lady, bless youChris #25

Wow, Caro. What a wonderful man your hubby is - how precious that he gave you those gorgeous craft goodies for your anniversary - he really knows you!! I like the pages you have done - but especially the "who am I?". Like the words you have added.Thanks for visiting - the sunrise was actually taken on midsummer day - it just wasn't a spectacular sunrise here on the North wales coast - unlike at Stonehenge!!Margaret #20

Hi Caro, happy anniversary. How does he know what to buy, I want a man like him Lol!, my one wouldn't have a clue but it's not really his fault as he has no idea how much stuff I actually have never mind what I've got.Hope you enjoy using the new stash.Happy crafting, Angela x #43
